MTU setting for IRIX

Couldn't find an IRIX forum, so I'm posting to this one...

Just had our SAs rebuild an IRIX machine and now I need to set the MTU to 1344 (vice 1500 default). I can set it manually using the ifconfig command, but it won't survive a reboot. I made an entry into the /etc/init.d/ifconfig-1.options file, but that didn't survive a reboot either. Further, after the reboot using this method, I could no longer log into the machine remotely.

I'm looking for a persistent way to make the MTU change. Suggestions?

NAME
ipsec_tncfg - lists IPSEC virtual interfaces attached to real interfaces SYNOPSIS
ipsec tncfg cat/proc/net/ipsec_tncfg OBSOLETE
Note that tncfg is only supported on the classic KLIPS stack. It is not supported on any other stack and will be completely removed in future versions. A replacement command still needs to be designed DESCRIPTION
/proc/net/ipsec_tncfg is a read-only file which lists which IPSEC virtual interfaces are attached to which real interfaces, through which packets will be forwarded once processed by IPSEC. Each line lists one ipsec I/F. A table entry consists of: + an ipsec virtual I/F name + a visual and machine parsable separator '->', separating the virtual I/F and the physical I/F, + a physical I/F name, to which the ipsec virtual I/F is attached or NULL if it is not attached, + the keyword mtu=, + the MTU of the ipsec virtual I/F, + the automatically adjusted effective MTU for PMTU discovery, in brackets, + a visual and machine parsable separator '->', separating the virtual I/F MTU and the physical I/F MTU, + the MTU of the attached physical I/F. EXAMPLES
ipsec2 -> eth3 mtu=16260(1443) -> 1500 shows that virtual device ipsec2 with an MTU of 16260 is connected to physical device eth3 with an MTU of 1500 and that the effective MTU as a result of PMTU discovery has been automatically set to 1443. ipsec0 -> wvlan0 mtu=1400(16260) -> 1500 shows that virtual device ipsec0 with an MTU of 1400 is connected to physical device wvlan0 with an MTU of 1500 and no PMTU packets have gotten far enough to bump down the effective MTU from its default of 16260. ipsec3 -> NULL mtu=0(0) -> 0 shows that virtual device ipsec3 is not connected to any physical device.
